Those of you with nimble quilting fingers or ones looking for lovely cottons, Quilte Classique is moving down the street (to #77A) and has a deal to offer you . In order for them to have to move a lot less stock, they are taking off 25%-50% on all prices in the store. Yes, you can get your 100% cotton here, and also your thread, hoops, stencils, batting, books and patterns. You can sign up for one of the fifteen different kinds of classes, which usually run from Jan-May and then again from Sept-Dec. Classes cost from $30 to $100 just for the instruction, and then double that for all of your supplies, but just think of all the therapeutic value you will receive from your quilting group and your busy fingers.

Rob McIntosh China www.robmcintoshchina.com which was one of the first tenants in the Mega Centre des Sources, has announced a closing sale. However, we shouldn’t get too upset as they are negotiating a move to somewhere else on the West Island. The sale doesn’t include everything amongst the gorgeous dinnerware, stemware, crystal and collectibles, but there are some goodies: lamps at 60% off, discontinued fine china (including Royal Crown Derby) at 50% off, some crystal 10% off – Johnson Brothers, Fifth Avenue and Belfor. But I would wait for the latter as they are expecting a blowout sale on crystal coming up in the next month.

One of the most popular questions I am asked, is where can I sell my old fur coat? My contacts dwindled down to one and then last month when I went to check up on him – he was GONE. I did some sleuthing around and found him in his new location: Roland Fourrures, 9250 Ave. du Parc at Chabanel St., Suite 312. Phone: 514-845-8852. Hours: Monday to Friday 9-5. Psst, this is the new fur manufacturers’ building in the city, if you want to buy a jacket or coat, look in my Smart Shopping Montreal book to see who is open to the public.

I love the concept of wall beds (you may know these as Murphy beds) because you can have a real mattressed bed for your guests instead of a crummy folded sofa-bed, and it takes up so little space. B.O.F.F., which has been manufacturing them since 1986, has the least expensive ones I have come across in Montreal. They can be part of a wall unit in a den, living room, office, basement, etc. or -the newest one – a sofa bed one! If you can imagine a sofa in which the back is built around a tall cupboard (behind it and against the wall), and when you want to use it, you just take off the sofa pillows and pull the bed down over the sofa base.
